Sub out Strauss and put Davey in the forward pocket.

Sub out Byrnes. At least Strauss is doing ok defensively.

Can I ask to sub off anyone and make Ablett swap jumpers? My god he is a freak.

The only thing worth watching at this miserable game.

The beer's ice cold.

I've actually switched to light beers in the 2nd term - to avoid being under the table by the end of the game. In response to the game I was getting stuck into the heavies but I want to be here for the turnaround.

Healy said at the 5 minute mark of 1st quarter that the players are mentally beaten.

We were mentally beaten after the Port match, and it's going to be much like that all year I suspect. Fragile. We just don't have the kind of leaders and experienced players that Geelong do to pull us out of it.

To be fair to Campbell Brown, Dan Nicholson is not a footballer's jockstrap.

It's a bit hard to tell from the TV, but wasn't Jordie tagging Harbrow in the first half? If so he actually seems to be doing his job, as Harbrow picked up 32 possies last week, only 6 to half time against us.

Sylvia needs to stand up, he should be dominating a game like this, as should Frawley.

Nice goal - finally

I'm trying to think of something to write to express my gut wrenching disappointment, however I cannot find the words....

Their top 5 most experienced players are better (overall) than our top 5.

The most experienced in order of games played

1. Sylvia / Ablett

2. Jones N / Campbell Brown

3. Byrnes / Brennan

4. Frawley / Harbrow

5. Dunn / Murphy

Our bottom 6 wouldn't get a game elsewhere either IMO (in no particular order) ......

Spencer

Strauss

Nicholson

Bail

Sellar

McKenzie

We also have 6 players (versus their 2) who have less than 10 games under their belt....

Kent

Terlich

Viney

Jones M

Gawn

Evans

And we also have ..... Neeld and his amazing line/development coaches :ph34r:

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
